What's Inside

Information security policy with purpose, scope, objectives and responsibilities
Acceptable use policy covering systems, email, internet and remote work
Access control policy covering access lifecycle and privileged access
Data classification policy with handling and labelling responsibilities
Cryptography policy with example encryption and key-management provisions
Supplier security policy covering assessment, contracts and review

About This Template

The Word document contains an information security policy and five topic policies: acceptable use, access control, data classification, cryptography, and supplier security. It gives you a draft to work from, including example responsibilities and operating rules. A change management policy is not included.

Read every commitment as if an auditor will ask you to demonstrate it. If the draft says access is reviewed quarterly, identify who performs that review, what population they check and where the result is recorded. Change a rule that does not fit your organisation rather than approving it and hoping nobody asks.

Set the scope, owner, approver and review cycle for each policy. Remove irrelevant provisions and add requirements from your risk treatment and contracts. Share the approved policies with the people who must use them, and retain evidence of approval and communication. Having a policy document is only one part of operating an ISMS; certification also requires the management system and applicable controls to work in practice.

The download is available without an account or email address. Keep a working copy, record who completed the review and retain the evidence used to reach each decision. The online assessment is a separate way to organise your review; downloading this file does not create an assessment in the app.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I publish these policies without changing them?
Read each policy against current practice first. Replace placeholders, confirm responsibilities and remove commitments your team cannot carry out.
Does the pack contain every document needed for certification?
No. It contains six policy drafts. Your scope, risk assessment and chosen controls determine the documents and operating records you need.
How do I turn a draft into an approved policy?
Assign an owner, check the wording with the people who will follow it and obtain approval from the appropriate authority. Record the version and communicate the change.
